EUROCOM MA6018/MA6008 professional mixer-

amplifiers offer extraordinary flexibility and ease-of-use

in an integrated rack-mountable system that is ideal

for commercial sound in facilities such as conference

rooms, houses of worship, restaurants, clubs, and similar

applications involving foreground music and paging.

Incorporating BEHRINGER’s exclusive DualDrive

technology, the MA6018/MA6008 is powered by

two independent mono amplifiers, one with a high-

impedance output that may be set to either 70 or 100 V,

and the other with a standard low-impedance output.

This versatile configuration enables easy installation of

hybrid multi-zone systems combining distributed and

low-impedance speakers, making the MA6018/MA6008 an

innovative solution for a broad range of environments.
The MA6018/MA6008 includes eight main channels for

balanced or unbalanced input from line-level sources

or microphones, either standard or phantom powered.

All channels accept input via both 5-pin Euroblock

connectors (with control and direct-out pins) and XLR/

TRS combination jacks. All main inputs are equipped

with a signal LED, gain trim, and high and low EQ. A set of

nine DIP switches on each channel assign the channel to

main and/or Zone 2 buses, set mic/line input, phantom

power on/off, set mute send/receive for channel muting,

and enable remote volume control, auto-mixing,

and chime activation for the channel. The level of each

channel in the main mix is set with individual front-panel

level controls.
Four additional auxiliary input channels, each with a

pair of RCA jacks that are summed internally to mono,

are provided for playback from external sources. A set of

four front-panel buttons determine which aux input is

currently sent to the main mix. Front panel controls are

also provided for the level and the EQ of the aux input.
A 4-pin Euroblock connector provides an additional

input (600 Ω, mic or line) for a telephone paging system.

MA6018/MA6008 telephone/paging functions, configured

via DIP switches, include assignable muting (signal,

switch, or contact closure activated), an assignable chime,

and assignment of any aux input to a Music on Hold (MOH)

bus. Controls are provided for the level of the paging send

to the main mix, the amount of ducking during pages,

the volume of the paging chime, and the level of the Music

on Hold feed.

MA6018/MA6008 outputs, all mono, include a single 4-pin

Euroblock connector for both high-and low-Z outputs to

loudspeakers as well as both Zone 2 and MOH outputs

combined onto a single 5-pin Euroblock connector.

The MOH out is fed from the main mix bus, while inputs to

the Zone 2 mix, which may be fed to an external recorder

or supplemental PA system, are assigned independently

of the main mix. Each output has a level control, and

neither is affected by master volume or EQ settings.
Additional MA6018/MA6008 connections include a 5-pin

Euroblock for remote control, switchable between the main

mix and the aux bus. Also on 5-pin Euroblock connectors

are Bridge In and Bridge Out, which allow multiple MA6000

series units to be bridged under the control of one master

unit. The master is determined by a setting on each unit’s

Main DIP switches, which also include settings for routing

the aux inputs, the aux bus, and the chime.
In addition, the MA6018/MA6008 front panel includes

a master level (main mix) knob—surrounded by an

indicator ring that glows yellow when the unit is powered

and flashes red at the onset of clipping—as well as high

and low EQ to optimize the main-mix sound for any

environment. Also included are a pair of LED meters that

indicate Main Mix and Zone 2 output levels.
MA6018/MA6008 operation is extraordinarily energy-

efficient thanks to transformerless Class-D amplifiers

that utilize switch-mode power supplies. The amplifiers

deliver 180 W (MA6018) or 80 W (MA6008) RMS into

low-Z loads of 4 Ω and high-Z outputs of 70 or 100 V.

A balance control adjusts the relative output of the two

amps, and a line-level effects send/receive, used to insert

external processing such as dynamics or EQ, is provided

using a single 5-pin Euroblock connector for both amps.

Each amplifier is protected with DC and thermal overload

protection, as well as by automatic limiting that prevents

overload, clipping, and distortion.
Combining powerful features and exceptional

configurability with a streamlined interface that is ideal for

non-technical users, EUROCOM MA6018/MA6008 mixer-

amplifiers provide outstanding value and functionality

for installed sound applications in a wide variety of

commercial installations.
